Mentioned in: Karaoke Nights in Montreal: The Best Spots

Review Summary

3 Minots comes across in reviews as a polarizing karaoke spot with a lively crowd and a strong, electric vibe. The atmosphere and crowd are repeatedly praised, with nonstop karaoke energy and a spectacle of the owner handling multiple roles as bartender, karaoke DJ, and tambourine player. However, service is often slow and some say the staff can be discriminatory if rules about drinking speed are not followed, and drinks are noted to be costly. The space can feel hot while the beer stays cold, and the washrooms are described as gross. There are moments of delight, such as celebrations with a remarkable barmaid and sake bomb, contributing to a generally good vibe for karaoke fans. Pitchers can run up to about thirty three dollars, which adds to the sense that the place is pricey despite the fun. Overall, the consensus is that 3 Minots is a must for karaoke lovers seeking a memorable, high energy night, even if the experience can be uneven.View restaurant profile
